Sounds like what would happen to me if I ever played in a game. Damn the luck.

I remember when Inge did this in a Major League game.

I remember when Inge did this in a Major League game.

Inge played every field position and pitched in the same game?

I dont remember Inge ever doing this, I could be wrong. I remember Shane Halter almost did it for the tigers, I think he didn't play one position. Anyone have any stats for either of these?

The first to accomplish this feat was Bert Campaneris in 1965: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 9080.shtml

Cesar Tovar became the second person to do this, in this game in 1968: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 9220.shtml
The first batter he faced in his game: None other than Bert Campaneris.

Scott Sheldon did it in this game in 2000: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 9060.shtml
Interestingly, he didn't start the game. In fact, he didn't get into the game until the 4th inning. He struck out the only batter he faced.

Halter did it in the last game of the 2000 season: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 0010.shtml
He went 4-5 with 3 RBIs, and walked the only batter he faced. The Tigers won that game in the bottom of the 9th, after being down 11-10 to the Twins. Eddie Guardado came in for the save, and gave up a leadoff home run to Dusty Allen. Halter came up to bat and doubled, and then scored the winning run on a Hal Morris pinch hit single. It would be the last at bat of Morris's career as well. What a game!
